The Downtown Runners and Walkers is the popular running/walking group. Each Tuesday - rain or shine - 20 to 40 people ranging in abilities from seasoned marathoners to beginning walkers meet at a different metro Detroit site. After route instructions, people take off on a course of four to eight miles. After the run or walk, everyone meets for food, drink and the most interesting conversations. Membership is free.

Details: It's a wanker's hash. Slow motion 1/2 mile to the Art Fair, leaving at 11:00 AM. Go earlier to check out the art or travel with the hash at 11 or so. Beer check from noon to one at The Arena on Washington St in the center of the action. Pool party to follow, sometime around 2:00. Go there directly if an art crowd annoys you or you choose to be a legitimate art shopper or god forbid, you want to go for a real run. Dress: remember---we are the art.

Bring: A dish to pass or a bag of chips if your cooking is a danger or unhealthy for others bring a folding chair and binky if you like.
